Hiya David!
Welcome to planDisney! I am so excited to see the return of
dining plans to guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel! To my family, it has been such a convenience and in years past I always loved it when there were free dining plan special offers. Luckily for you, there is a special free dining plan deal that just came out a few days ago for
Disney+ subscribers! This offer is valid for most nights from July 1 to September 30, 2024, which will include the period for the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
Many of the Global Marketplaces for this festival will have menu items that are going to be considered as snacks in the dining plan. Not every item will qualify but look for the square purple and white "DDP" icon next to food items on the menu. It's a great use of the dining plan as many items at the festival are priced at $10 or more. I would keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog which releases a great Foodie Guide right before the Festival begins. It will be a good way to narrow down your selections as there are just so many options!
I hope you have a delicious time and if you need any more help please
let me know!Happy Planning!
